Rating: 5/5what to expect 3 1/2 years after purchaseOctober 23, 2019I ordered my used Apple 13" MacBook Pro (2012) 2.5GHz Dual Core i5 on March 17, 2016 and I'm writing this review on 10-23-2019. After 3 and a half years of using this laptop heavily, i must say that i have been more than satisfied with my experience through macsales.com! When my MacBook first arrived the product description said used, very good condition and they weren't lying. My MacBook was in perfect condition, no defects or scuffs, looked brand-new! 3 1/2 years later it runs and looks as smooth as it did the day i took it out of the box! If you can't afford a brand new MacBook like me, then i Would recommend going this route with the team at macsales 10/10 times!

Rating: 4/5Runs greatOctober 2, 2018Found out about this site from a coworker. Love my laptop though I wouldn’t consider it very good condition, possibly good. There are more scratches than anticipated. Would have gave it a 5 but I ordered it on a Saturday and had to call on that Wednesday because I still didn’t have a shipping confirmation. Got it that night. Came a week later due to storms, which I’m fine with.

Rating: 5/5Very Satisfied with My PurchaseJune 11, 2018I bought this MacBook Pro for graduate school. I'm very pleased with my purchase. It arrived on time, in excellent condition, and it works superbly. The OWC website was easy to use and I found what I was looking for easily. I would highly recommend this website to anyone looking for a new Mac. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and with the website. Thank you very much for such excellent service.

Rating: 5/5UnbeatableMay 30, 2018You won't find all the features this machine has on any new Mac laptop, and the new machines will cost more. The display is not retina but is it quite sharp. The solid state drive is perfect. Blistering responsiveness makes this a joy to use. The condition rating is quite conservative. This machine was better than very good condition. An excellent condition would not be an exaggeration.

Rating: 4/5Great replacementMay 16, 2018Needed a fast replacement mac for my 2010 macbook pro. This was perfect. Very happy with this purchase except for a bit of what looks like adhesive under the screen. Otherwise a great computer.

Rating: 5/5Still love this MacBook ProApril 16, 2018I have a 2009 MacBook Pro that has slowed to a crawl because of the old operating system and slow HD. But I can't afford a new one with 3 kids needing iphones and computers I come last, not to mention I'm unhappy with Apple's current MacBook Pro offerings. So I bought this 2012 MacBook Pro running Sierra and it's divine. Like an old car that's been kept in working condition, it feels like the same computer I already have with a rebuilt engine. Besides the fact that there are migrating issues (primarily Mail and Photos) that have to do with my old computer, it's a dream to drive. It's fast and besides a few tiny dents, it looks brand new. I'm very happy with this purchase because even if I can't get my photos and my mail on without a big headache, it will be a great computer for one of my kids.

Rating: 5/5'Very Good Condition" - Like NewApril 8, 2018April 2018 - I ordered my ’very good condition’ laptop from MacSales.com on a late Saturday evening and by Tuesday the laptop was delivered; that was certainly quick.

I have been a Window user from the beginning and decided to make the change. I’ve taken one free workshop from a neighboring Apple store and it looks like I’ll need a few more workshops before I feel comfortable. The instructor at the workshop as well as I was very surprised at how new my laptop looked, Until I’m able to determine that everything works the way it should I can’t comment at this time on its function - So far so good.

While investigating before my purchase I can’t express how pleased I was with the on line Chat service provided by MacSales. Several times I had questions for both the tech and customer service people and they were very helpful and knowledgeable about the product and company procedures. Unfortunately another company lost out - I had questions for the seller after I got answers to my questions I went back to order the Macbook Pro and noticed a new seller was selling the laptop that I was interested in. I wasn’t about to submit questions to the new seller and found MacSales.com and couldn’t be happier.

The annoying part of my transaction – One would think since this is the computer age that once a transaction has taken place and the item delivered that the advertising would stop for the product just purchased, after all how many laptops do they believe I’m going to buy? Perhaps they could save advertising $$$ and pass the savings onto their customers; oh yeah, I’m dreaming….

Rating: 5/5Excellent 13" MBPMarch 2, 2018The week after I received the MBP, took it on a 1 month trip and it performed flawlessly. Battery is about 89% which is excellent for a 7-05-2012 battery with 545 cycles.

Rating: 5/5Everything that was promised was delivered.December 20, 2017I have ordered products from OWC since 2014. I live in the northwest of Canada and delivery times are long, but the website keeps you up to date with the shipping events. All the products I have ordered have performed exceptionally well. Everything that is promised on the website is delivered. I have installed all the hard drives I have ordered myself and the self-help videos are excellent. The refurnished MacBook Pro that was recently delivered exceeds my expectations. It was rated in "very good" condition and I did have some doubts about that, but when it arrived found that it looked like it was almost brand new. I highly recommend OWC.

Rating: 5/5Just what I expected!May 8, 2017I had this same model computer, with updated memory and SSD, stolen. When I went shopping for a new computer (MacBook Pro) all of the new models came with limited ports, some with only 1 or two. Heading to MacSales.com I found exactly what had been stolen and once my backup was restored, I felt I had my stolen computer back. Thanks for being the conduit for getting quality used Macs into the hands of those needing the same!

Rating: 5/5Great Refurbished ItemMarch 27, 2017Product was exactly as advertised; powered up great, all upgrades done, and works fabulous. Has only been a few days, but from all the testing so far, the macbook is fast and furious :) Thank you OWC!

Rating: 5/5Offers More than a New MacJanuary 18, 2017I've been using this souped-up 2012 13" MacBook Pro for a couple of weeks and love it. I could have spent about the same money and gotten a new MacBook, but it would have had half the RAM, a quarter the storage, no optical drive, no SD card slot, no ethernet port, no firewire port, and no magsafe adapter. OWC did a great job polishing this machine up and shipping it to me in two business days. Until Apple starts realizing less in NOT more, MacSales is offering a great alternative way to upgrade.

Rating: 5/5EXCELLENT buy as far as I'm concerned!December 21, 2016This is now the 2nd, 3rd or maybe 4th "used" MacBookPro I've bought from OtherWorldComputing - at GREAT SAVINGS! All of 'em have worked GREAT! (I'm on one, right now.)

I've have had NO complaints about 'em at all. [ And everyone who knows me knows that I'm VERY picky! And - I've been a computer pro since the late '60s!]

I don't NEED to have the absolutely NEWEST Mac. Which also means I'm not forced to be afflicted with their newest operating system - which may or may not be an early version where early adopters do the OS' final debugging! (been there; done that!) ... and which may or may not also break some of my most crucial "older" often-costly apps. Thus, for many years now, I've been quite content to have models that are a few years old ... but still do EVERYTHING I need or want to do!

UNLESS you simply MUST have the newest Mac - I can't see ANY reason to pay PREMIUM prices when perfectly good - EXCELLENT! - [somewhat] "used" Macs are available from OWC at MUCH BETTER PRICES! (AND with reliable - although limited-time - warranty!).

Rating: 5/5very fast and easy to useJanuary 12, 2016This was my first purchase from this company and it was very easy, smooth, and reassuring. The computer is in great shape and there would be no way I could afford this computer from anyone else. I'm not a mac person but my wife is OWC may have converted me.

Rating: 5/5Better than expected!January 10, 2016I have to admit that I was skeptical about purchasing a used laptop (versus getting a refurbished one from Apple). Well, both my wife and I have put aside our reservations after receiving our laptop. Even though this was listed as being in 'Fair Condition' according to OWC, we couldn't find ANYTHING wrong with it when we got it! AND, it arrived quickly (despite the holiday!). We updated the OS to El Capitan and will be loading Office tonight. Sharon from customer service answered all of my questions and that sealed the deal for us. I plan on upgrading my own MacBook Pro this week using Sharon's recommendations. Couldn't be happier. We will DEFINITELY be telling others about Other World Computing!

Rating: 5/5A GREAT alternative to buying new!September 13, 2015I've owned this macbook pro for two months now, and it has performed flawlessly. It came exactly as described and is handling everything I'm throwing at it, including presentation software, live music performance, and some audio/video editing. Two thumbs up!
